Clinical PDA's Fast Acceptance
A news article from Mobile Health Data reports that a recent New Jersey pilot study of the use of PDAs in clincial practice saw impressive results after only a month. A conrol group of 20 physicians apparently saw enough benefits from using PDAs to access clinical information that the program decided to offer the technology to all of its physicians beginning in March. The pilot study used MDdata software from MercuryMD to enable PDA access to clinical data such as patient lists, lab results, orders, radiology results, medication lists and demographics. It required physicians in the study to purchase their own PDAs.
